SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,234, dated January 10, 1882.

Application filed Angust16, 1881. (MOIIQL) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID D. WILLIAMS, of VVilkes-Barr, in the county of Luzerne,'and in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented cer tain new and useful Improvements in Miners Lamps; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to tl1e letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

I This invention relates to certain improvements in lamps, and is specially designed as a miners lamp; and it has for its objects to produce a lamp that may be conveniently carried by hand or attached to the miners hat, and

when not in use carried in thepocket without danger of spilling. These objects I attain by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved lamp;-Fig. 2, a detached sectional view of the filling-tube, and Fig. 3 a vertical sectional View of the lamp.

The letterAindicates the body of the lamp, which is provided with a screw-threaded tube, B, at its top, upon which the screw-threaded cap B, which carries the wick-tube O, is adapted to be secured. The cap B is provided with a tubular extension, D, which surrounds the wicktube, and is internally screw-threaded, for the purpose hereinafter described.

At one side the body of the lamp is provided with a short screw-threaded tube, E, in which is adapted to be secured the screwthreaded end of the tube F, which serves as a handle to the lamp.

The letter G indicates a hook secured to the lamp-body, by means oflwhich the lamp may freely in said wick-tube.

The handle, when the lamp is not in use, is

by means of which the tube may be closed.

The wick is so arranged in the wick-tube and bottom of the lamp, as indicated in the drawings, as to pack around the lower end of the wick-tube and prevent the oil from rising too placed over the wick-tube and screwed in the threaded extension surrounding said tube, thus forming a cap for the same, and preventing the fluid from spilling when the lamp is not in use.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patcut. is

1. In combination with the lamp-body and its removable screw-threaded handle, the cap secured thereto, and provided with a screwthreaded extension surrounding the wick, into which the handle is adapted to be screwed to serve as a cap for the wick-tube, substantially as specified.

2. In combination with the body of the lamp, having the tube E and cap B and its extension D, the detachable screw-threaded handle, adapted to be attached to the lamp-body or secured to the wick-tube, as desired, substantially as and for the purposes specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto'set my hand this 17th day of June, 1881.
